Boa Question

Hey guys, I'm starting to get a little worried about my boa. His eyes glossed over normally as they would if he was about to shed, and he is losing some color, however hes been in his hide for about 3 or 4 days now and hasn't come out. Any suggestions?

Sounds perfectly normal. I suggest you keep his humidity high and wait until he sheds before bothering him.

Shedding takes about a week, first his eyes and skin go dull/cloudy, then after several days it starts to clear again, and then a couple days later he'll shed. During that time many snakes will hide a lot and seek high humidity to help with the process.

My Anery's eyes went milky 4-5 days ago and she still hasn't shed. As long as the humidity is up and they have something abrasive to rub on they should be fine. I have the humidity in her tank cranked to over 80% so I'm just waiting now. Silly boas lol.
